'''''Mimo's Quest''''' is an adventure game for the Amstrad CPC range of computers. Mimo has wandered away from his island home and gotten lost, and the player must guide him through strange lands and undertake various quests in order for him to find his way back again.
Mimo's Quest is written by [[CPSoft]] (Chris Perver ) in Z80 assembly using WinAPE CPC emulator and RASM/Notepad++. The game is currently in an unfinished state, awaiting the development of a proper story line, quests and sound effects, although the game world itself and quest and inventory management system is functioning properly. The game is made in the style of Zelda, with lands to explore, characters to talk to, quests to fulfil and items to collect. The author also drew inspiration for the game world from reading of the Oliver Twins and their efforts to create a pseudorandomly generated world game called Excalibar.
The source code for Mimo's Quest has been made available on the author's website (https://www.mimosquest.com/) for those who wish to learn Z80 programming on the Amstrad or see how a game is written. A disk version is currently available to download, and a tape version with inlay card will follow once the game is complete. A cartridge version for plus machines is also currently under development.
== Loading the game ==
Type RUN"MIMO to load the game. The loader will currently detect whether there is 64k or 128k of RAM available and load the corresponding version, although the 64k version may have to be dropped due to memory constraints. The CPR file is the Amstrad 464+/6128+/GX4000 cartridge version of Mimo's Quest. It can be loaded through an emulator or burned to an EPROM.
== Keys ==
The cartridge version of Mimo's Quest uses some of the features of the ASIC in the plus machines. The larger colour palette enables a gradual fade from daylight to dusk as day changes to night. The extra space on the cartridge will eventually allow the creation extra tile sets and sprite sets for the different zones, and possibly expand the quests and vocabulary of the NPCs.
